Comparison of Minimally Invasive and Open Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This cohort study compared the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive versus open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (Mis-TLIF versus Open-TLIF) for lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS From July 2016 to September 2017, we recruited 37 patients suffering from lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy. Seventeen patients underwent Mis-TLIF (Mis group) and 20 patients underwent Open-TLIF (Open group). Baseline characteristics were similar between the 2 groups before surgery. We compared postoperative clinical and radiological outcomes between the 2 groups. RESULTS Compared to patients in the Open group, patients in the Mis group has significantly less intraoperative hemorrhage, drainage fluid, time to go, and hospital stay after surgery, but had longer operation times (P<0.05). These 2 groups had similar postoperative hemoglobin reduction and drain removal time. In addition, the postoperative back and leg pain and intervertebral height reduction at 3 months after surgery in the Mis group were remarkably lower than those in the Open group. There was no significant difference in postoperative Oswestry disability index (ODI) or intervertebral height change immediately after surgery and at 1 month postoperatively between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS Mis-TLIF shows some benefits in lumbar disc herniation compared to Open-TLIF in terms of intraoperative hemorrhage, drainage fluid, time to go, hospital stay after surgery, and postoperative back and leg pain.
